Wolverines

So, E3 starts tomorrow. What games do you hope/expect to see? I am really excited about seeing what Battlefield 3 looks like and hoping beyond hope on Planetside Next.

Halflife 2 episode 3.

Just went to youtube and this was on the front page

And....Oh my.

the gameplay footage of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 are pretty bad ass

Finish the fight.... again...

One one hand, I really hate the fact that they are making another Halo trilogy, especially considering there is no Bungie.  I like Master Chief, and I am curious to see the rest of his story, but automatically making another trilogy seems like milking the franchise.  But then again, I will likely pick it up launch day and play the crap out of it, so I guess I am part of the problem.  :P

I also heard that Xbox live is getting streaming live tv this fall.  http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20069346-260/e3-2011-live-tv-coming-to-xbox-this-fall/ - That i am very interested in...

Yes, yes, and yes.  Bumped from 400,000 poly's per car in Forza 3 to 1,000,000+.

And yup, that's the Top Gear test track at the minute mark.  Fucking.  Sexy.

Damn, what can you do with 1+ million polygons that you can't do with 400k, unless they are adding unseen sections such as more interior/undercarriage or a trunk etc.

Well I guess i could see it in some instances like the rear flow a the 4 second mark, if that's actually a honeycomb model, and not a texture. Of course the round lights would have to be high poly as well..

Damn who does those models.

Someone with a lot of spare time.  

Those extra polygons went into the insane level of detail.  All of the car shots in the vid are the actual in-game models.

The contrast of that against a well-timed Jalopnik article here (http://jalopnik.com/5809421/the-ten-best+looking-16+bit-cars/gallery/1) is pretty amusing.

Battlefield 3 looks awesome:

You guys see the Wii U stuff yet?

planetside 2, Dust 514 and Xcom

If the way they envision Dust 514 works out that game is going to be ass.

Dust 514 is the FPS companion to EVE Online. So whatever you do in Dust 514, effects the players in EVE and vice versa

I am really wanting to try Eve online, I know I am late to the party but it still looks fancy and I heard the big pvp is fun.

The Wii U looks interesting for sure. I think if its priced right it could be a hit. It just  doesnt look appealing to me at this point though.

LOL, love the avatar Varg

This is a quick interview for Dust 514. This will be awesome

Xcom looks meh.

Well I hope it at least invigorates interest back into the original genre, which they will hopefully reproduce.


The Dust/EVE integration is cool.

Dust 514 sounds cool....but only on ps3, which sucks hard.

The Wii U unit probably will be in the regular price range of $300 or so but the controllers are going to cost a shitload.  I can see them going for $100 per.

I don't know how many of you were Twisted Metal junkies like I was as a teenager, but this is fucking rad

Also, I love me some Far Cry (even the Uwe Boll masterpiece is a bit of a guilty pleasure - speaking of Mr. Boll, you should check out Rampage on Netflix.  It's very disturbing).  Anyway...

Rampage where the people turn into huge monsters and crush buildings?  That Rampage?

Close, but no.  Rampage where the kid goes on a massive killing spree. 

I liked that crushing buildings rampage.

Then it's theme successor King of Monsters.
